Redefining The Village That It Takes To Raise A Child

istock_000005295992xsmall.jpg

Many of us are familiar with the saying that ” It takes a village to raise a child ” As Moms and Grandmas have become more and more involved in the “outside the home work place”, it seems that this is true today more than ever. We need each other.

The “blog world” is an exciting way to enlarge our village and tap into each others’ hidden streams of wisdom, concerns, and ideas. To be able to share with each other even though our time to communicate is so fragmented is a marvel to me. ( Of course, my son introduced me to it )

The focus of this blog will be to find each other and to help each other meet the ongoing challenges of how to manage our lifestyles, and love and nurture our families, while wearing the smile of a calm well balanced mind!

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, guardian, home based childcare provider, or a millennium super-person who is juggling nearly all of these titles while running a business or two at the same time, this is a place to share what works, what doesn’t and what we wish would.

One of my many concerns is the effects of constant chaos on our children. I would love to hear how you feel about this and any ways you may have found to combat it. I would also love to know other issues you feel challenged by or have overcome. Let the blogging begin!!!!
